Planning a trip to Florida is always exciting — sunshine, palm trees, world-famous attractions, and relaxing days by the pool. But figuring out what to pack? That can feel overwhelming. The good news is, with a little planning, you can pack smart and stress-free. At Orlando Rent a Villa by Eagle Management, we’ve helped thousands of guests enjoy their stay in our Orlando villas, vacation rentals near Disney, and Florida vacation homes. Here’s our guide to what you’ll definitely want to bring — and what you can leave at home.
Must-Bring Essentials for Your Florida Vacation
1. Lightweight Clothing
Florida weather is warm year-round, so pack breathable fabrics like cotton and linen. Shorts, sundresses, tank tops, and swimsuits are a must for your stay in one of our Orlando vacation rentals. For evenings, bring a light sweater or jacket — the air conditioning indoors can be chilly!
2. Comfortable Shoes
You’ll be doing a lot of walking, whether at Disney, Universal, or exploring a local farmers market. Sneakers and supportive sandals are key. Many of our Davenport vacation rentals are just minutes from the parks, so comfy footwear ensures you’ll make the most of your time.
3. Sun Protection
The Florida sun is no joke. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and refillable water bottles. Most of our Florida vacation homes have private pools, so you’ll be spending plenty of time outdoors.
4. Swim Gear
Pack multiple swimsuits, cover-ups, and flip-flops. Nearly all of our Orlando villas feature screened private pools and spas, and many resorts offer lazy rivers, splash pads, and Tiki bars. Pool toys and goggles are great for kids!
5. Theme Park Essentials
If you’re visiting Disney or Universal, bring a backpack with ponchos (afternoon showers are common), portable chargers, and refillable water bottles. Staying in one of our vacation rentals near Disney means you’ll have space to prep snacks and meals before heading out.
What You Can Skip
1. Towels & Linens
All of our Orlando vacation homes come fully stocked with fresh linens, bath towels, and pool towels. Save the space in your suitcase!
2. Kitchen Supplies
With fully equipped kitchens in every home, there’s no need to pack utensils, cookware, or coffee makers. Our property management in Orlando ensures everything is guest-ready when you arrive.
3. Excessive Toiletries
Most essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided. Bring personal favorites, but skip packing full-size bottles.
4. Formal Wear
Unless you’re planning a luxury dinner at one of Disney’s fine dining restaurants, you won’t need much more than casual attire. Florida is laid-back, and our guests in rentals in Orlando Florida love the relaxed vibe.
Bonus Tips for Stress-Free Packing
- Roll your clothes instead of folding to save space.
- Leave room in your luggage for souvenirs (trust us, you’ll want them).
- Double-check luggage weight limits if you’re flying in.
